OPERATION HOME TRUTHS

Are you concerned about the quality of care in a nursing home or in the provision of aged care at home? Would you like to do something that may help to bring about some positive changes?

If you have experienced or witnessed poor care, either in a nursing home or with aged care at home, you can help to increase politicians' and community awareness of the need to improve the quality of care by telling your story.

Elder Care Watch has already published 4 volumes of Operation Home Truths. They contain cases of poor care and are sent to key politicians and to journalists. No names are used in the publications. Your anonymity is guaranteed.

You will receive a complimentary copy of the publication.
